Description:
The Idea of the University: Contemporary Perspectives consists of essays from the leading contemporary scholars of the university across the world.
Review Quotes: Michael A. Peters and Ronald Barnett have done the academic community a great service by collecting, in two handsome and well-structured volumes, a number of the most important contributions in thinking about the university, as well as providing illuminating and instructive directives for understanding the current relevance of the essays. These books should be required reading for anyone who cares about higher education in the present and the future. --Sharon Rider, Professor of Philosophy, Uppsala University
